 property
      description:  Welcome
      to Aire du temps! *
      A friendly spot in the French Hautes-Pyrénées (65), not very far from
      ski-resorts and the Val d´Aran in Spain. *
      A gîte, a small ecological camp site (for 6 tents max.) and some
      guest rooms, with a fine breakfast (organic). *
      For nature lovers and peace seekers, who appreciate small things in life
      (so do we). *
      Peace and quiet, grand view at the Pyrenees (Cap de Pony de Hourmigué,
      Pic du Gar, Pic de Bacanère, Mont Aspet, Montludo). *
      Scenic routes for walking and cycling. Rafting, fishing, paragliding, ski-ing,
      crosscountry ski-ing... *
      Only 4 km. from here: the Chemin du Piémont des Pyrénées (to
      Santiago de Compostella). *
      Day trips to Cathar country, Lourdes, Toulouse, the cathedral of Saint
      Bertrand de Comminges, the prehistoric caves of Gargas... *
      Regional cheese, honey and apple juice du terroir from one of the
      farms in the Barousse valley. *
      On request: workshop How to prepare sushi (Leuntje´s specialty). *
      No tv, but (wireless) internet all right. *
      Many translations of 'The little prince', written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
      - the perfect literature for a lazy afternoon in the garden or a winter
      evening next to the fire place. *
      Public transport: bus stop (Bagiry) only 1 km. from here. Train station (Saléchan-Siradan)
      at 2 km. Take the night train in Paris-Austerlitz (22.56h) and join us for
      breakfast the next morning.
